Sean Payton emphasizes building a football team from the offensive line, a philosophy influenced by mentor Bill Parcells. The Denver Broncos have invested heavily in their offensive line, with four of five starters receiving extensions. While their rushing attack has struggled, the pass protection has been elite, particularly thanks to rookie quarterback Bo Nix and tackles Garett Bolles and Mike McGlinchey, who rank among the best in QB pressure percentage allowed.

With two games remaining, the Broncos need one win to secure a playoff spot. Payton must leverage the offensive line's blocking prowess to establish a stronger rushing attack. The current roster has the potential to impose its will, reminiscent of the 2013 Broncos, who balanced a potent passing game with a commitment to the run. The 2024 Broncos are well-equipped, and it's time for Payton to integrate this into their game strategy.
